RUFDRAFT Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi Ruf, Will we be "pulling the plug" if the weather looks bad for the weekend? Regards Mark Hi Mark - I suppose that would be up to those planning on coming. I'll wait until Wed morning, myself. It wouldn't be much fun in the wet - for gathering - or driving. What are your thoughts - or anyone elses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has to be this weekend, bring rain tires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I know those staying at the Holiday Inn can get a refund with 48 hours notice. The only tires I have are the Nitto 555's - like driving on snow in the wet. Laura's planning on flying in from Chicago. It's a major rain event moving across the mid-west now.

RUFDRAFT Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 An alternative would be to try for the following weekend. Is that a problem for anyone? Laura - can you re-schedule your flight? 53 - Darkside - Mark - would that work for you? GR8? Others? Orf - will you be out there the following weekend?

It wouldn't be much fun in the wet - for gathering - or driving. What are your thoughts - or anyone elses? Hey Ruf, I'll go with the consensus. Generally it's not a lot of fun driving around in the rain, traction or no traction. We can't make following weekend however. Flying back to Canada on the 15th and can't change that. We will be back mid-November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 If we have to go to the next weekend, I can't get there until later in the evening on Friday as I won't be able to leave Fayetteville before 5:00 PM. Other than that, I can do it if necessary. Look on the bright side. If we go to the next weekend, Orf will be in town (insert silver lining here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I"m going to call the hotel and reschedule for the following weekend. The forecast still looks dismal. Let me know what you're going to do. I don't get many weekends at the beach - so I'd like this one to be nice weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH53Driver Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Well considering the weather forecast, the fact that most people probably won't come if bad weather, and the intent to re-schedule for a different weekend has lead me to cancel my hotel reservation. I won't be able to make it the following weekend and with my schedule ramping up, this was the best weekend for me and I had taken leave to ensure the time off. I won't make it to the one next April either, so I guess I am SOL for at least another year. This sucks but nothing you can do about Mother Nature.

Matt - you're still welcome here anytime you commute. And we haven't set a date yet for April. I just heard from L and she has cancelled her flight - so a visit here for her is out. We'd love to have you come down this weekend and visit us in Washington! I'm going to a dyno day at a new speed shop in Greenville. C'mon down and enjoy some of your high-end Gin you have here! I'll grill some ribs weather permitting! We'll watch the Charlotte race in HD! That goes for you, too, Mark. We'd love to show you and Annette our historic little city! Let me know, and I'll give you a link to a couple of great B&B's here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer Ruf, We have decided to return to Canada on Saturday for the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. We'll give you a shout when we get back in November and we can get together either in Washington or Wilmington. Best regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr8snkbite Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 What a shame mother isn't playing fare, but looks to be ok now. No matter, i'm ill anyway and wouldn't make it. Next week would be good provided mother isn't raining on our parade. Sorry CH53 can't be there. :happy feet: But we'll manage and support him nonethless.

RUFDRAFT Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yeah, I know it. On Wed, the forecast still called for rain Thurs-Sunday. I hate it that Matt & Mark can't make it next weekend, too! We're going to miss Matt dropping by the crib on his way home on weekends!

darkside Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not sure if we will be able to make it next weekend. Lots of interesting news on the job front came to light last week that demands our attention if I am going to be ready by March. Lets just say that I may not be going to Iraq.
